or field or occasion.

Yes, all of us brought up and planted in us as set of values and principles that will allow us to deal with what surrounds us human beings and what we are exposed to him from different life situations, is an important part of our upbringing.
What are photojournalism?
As topic, "Ethics in Photojournalism" is difficult
to define. In order to ask questions such as "What were Photo journalistic
ethics in the past," "What is photojournalism's today." And
"What will photo journalistic ethics look like in the future," one
must first define the concepts both 'Ethics' and "photojournalism".
Photojournalism is photography plus journalism. Journalism is, "The
profession or reporting or photographing or editing news stories."
Photojournalism ethics:
"Yet
photojournalism has no Bible, or anyone define correct choice." There is
no sole arbiter of what is or isn't ethical, and even if there were, the line
isn't always Black and White. Most texts regarding ethics in photojournalism focus
on the issue of what might be termed "Photographic Truth"- whether a
particular image accurately represents the subject or whether it misleads
viewer.
The national
press photographers Association Code of Ethics states that the "Primary
Goal" of the photojournalist is the "… faithful and comprehensive
description the subject at hand." Can be a photographer pose a news photo?
Can he alter it, in "Faithful and Comprehensive Depictions?"
